You have to fit it in when it suits you most. I do mine first thing in the morning as that's when it suits me, if i don't then i feel pants for the rest of the day. I don't have the same enthusiasm for it doing it late in the day

I have to agree that the best time to exercise is when you personally feel most energetic, most motivated & can consistently fit it into your life. For me, that's in the morning as I'm such a morning person (here I am at 6 am!), & have the flexibility in my schedule to exercise most mornings.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.

For me, it's MUCH preferred to go early in the morning. I prefer to workout before I go to work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Then I kick in something fairly early - when convenient - on Sunday. One of the main perks of working out for me is the feeling of accomplishment throughout the day. Why wait to get that feeling until the evening?

I went from morbidly obese to being the owner of TABDIG - a weight loss coaching service that helps people worldwide losing weight. It's been an amazing journey. From October 4th 2010 to April 3rd 2012 I lost half my body weight - 80 kilos/170 lbs. Since then, I have had two cosmetic surgeries to remove excess skin. I have now quadrupled my strength, gained several kilos in muscle mass, and today I focus on building muscle, optimizing my diet, living healthy and helping people to reach the very same goals. I am stronger, healthier, thinner, happier! If you feel that you need help losing weight, don't hesitate to send me an inbox message.

Morning for me. I like getting it done and not dreading it all day. There are mornings I sleep in and miss by the time my kids are up, then I just find I have this heavy burden until I get it done. Whenever you do it is best just as everyone has said, just so you know though, it doesn't take long for your body to get used to getting up. It only takes two or three days of resisting the snooze button, before you are on a morning schedule. This WebMD article makes some good points. Good luck to everyone!

interesting debate and the common consensus is do it when you will DO IT so consistency and regularity is the main thing..

However i read an interesting Article with Sir Chris Hoy (6x Gold medallist cyclist) who said that he thought mornings were the best as Testosterone levels were highest and that when you wake up your spine is at its most elongated and then compreses during the day, therefore he felt that exercising in the mornings was less likely to cause injury esp to the back and it was easier to maintain good exercise form

The only right answer is when will you do it consistently? For me that's morning because the only excuse not to is in my head.. Like cjmurph said in a previous post "If I sit down I am a goner". I know if I did them in the afternoon I would have the same issue along with kids, yard work, hanging with the neighbors and the list goes on. In the morning, it's just you and no excuses.. That's what works for me but by no means is the "right" answer..

i too have started exercising in the morning. it stops me thinking about it like its a chore that needs doing. also with 3 young boys in the house anything can change throughout the day and your plans can easily get scrapped.

I get up at 04:00 then run for 60-80 mins on Weekdays. I take my Saturdays and SUndays for resting...though it is hard not to go running. I started 5 months ago, could barely handle a walk, but going out in the early morning did it for me. Now I manage 9 - 12 Kms a day. I dropped from 229 lb to 169 -a whopping 60 lbs!

I like the evenings after dinner. I use to run at night but it is really not that safe anymore. My husband and I bought an elliptical machine and put it in our family room right next to our recliners. We take turns on it while watching our shows on DVR. We can also talk and catch up with each other while working out. Now I taken to doing weight training and yoga in front of the TV too so now we are not couch potatoes. LOL

I like to exercise right after lunch and right after dinner. I usually break up my workout because my 3 year old has a short attention span. I find if you are exercising you are making that step to a healthier you, so does it really matter when during the day we do it as long as we do?
